hi all, somewhat new here, and definitely new to ar15 platform. A little back ground, my 1st ar was a springfield saint. By far my favorite ar, I have since bought 2 more ar's of another manufacturer. So my question is, i want to change my hand guard to one with a picatinny rail at 12 o'clock. I'm reading this may not be as simple as one would think. Can I loosen the nut and remove it, replace with my choice and tighten back up the nut? Or as I'm hearing i have to remove front sight, gas block etc, replace the guard and reassemble? Thanks and sorry for the ignorance on this. But,, I'm learning. And thats all I want is to learn and know.
Thanks, jason

I don't have any SA rifles, but more likely they are proprietary and can't just pick what you want and replace. If anything a barrel nut replacement would be required to install a new handguard. There could be 1 out there that wouldn't require a nut change? Call a company and talk too someone for good assistance!
 
Thanks, I tried calling bravo co. As they are the one that's on it from the factory. They are not accepting phone calls at this time. So I emailed them. Hopefully I will get a response. I did the same with springfield.
Thanks for the input !!

Thought I would update this. Instead if taking a gun apart thats only had a few rounds thru it, I traded it in for a new saint edge. Absolute night and day difference between the two. I will say, the edge does get quit hot quit fast. But it was worth the deal.

How hot are we talking and is it the full length of the hand guard? I’m curious I’m looking to pick one up I’m between the Victor and the Edge like the features of the edge but I have heard it gets hot.
